Are the Argentine social movements that grew out of the 2001 economic crisis still going strong? I mean the neighbourhood assemblies, the unemployed workers organisations, the recovered factories etc...

I havent heard much of it lately, I know the Argentine economy has since recovered and I suppose it's inevitable that the middle-classes will drift back into the system but it would be nice to think that they could keep the momentum going and create a genuinely democratic alternative. Anyone know whether these movements are growing or in decline?

i dont know if these groups are still going or if they are whether they are weak or strong but seeing how this is south america i am guessing that they are still around and still going strong. movements such as these in south america are hard for the establishment to suppress and if they do supress these movements then the establishment always come out looking bad and getting condemned for it.
